Carrier Command - Amiga Game (1/2)

[Falandorn]

I used to spend hours on this, i never knew what to do though just used to try and fly the mantas in formation over the carrier lol good times

[urmo345]

i used Mantas to destroy command centers while Walruses were used as decoy only.

[walter0bz]

people take this for granted with now with battlefield / rts's etc , but this was a real landmark on a 512k 68000 computer

I was never any good at it, was too advanced for me at the time.... weird isnt it how this was on a floppy disk and my amiga had half a megabyte of ram and never froze once... still, good to see it again, I was more of a 'night breed' and 'bloody afternoon' player myself lol

[FruitySalsa]

Omg, i lost this game name and now i stumble in to it... this game was amazing.. enjoyed it so much!

[Thiima52]

@Zenon66 Ahhh rubbish! So they did!

[ATG913]

This game looks... very deep and ambitious. :|a Y'all seen footage of the sequel?

[26wordy]

My cousin who was quite a bit older than me had it, we both thought it was an impossibly hard game, ie the enemy carrier was invincible but it seems it was quite easy to kill according to wikipedia.

Yeah, it was hard to beat in a strategic battle. It was much faster than you and took over islands quickly. But if you actually ran into it, it wasn't very hard to blast it to pieces. Took me perhaps three attempts.

[26wordy]

I had this on the ST.f~#kin right game. How far ahead was it.....bloody light years.... and this was out way before I had to put up with piles of shit like liberation on the amiga cd 32, that game sucked HARD.

@26wordy

I remember when this came out the ST was in its brief moment as the most popular 16-bit machine. Then Commodore dropped the price of the Amiga and suddenly there was little reason to buy an ST: the Amiga's custom chips, 4096 colours etc. made it the clear choice. Up until that point, many Amiga games were straight ports of the games made for the inferior ST.

WTF my last comment screwed up maybe since I typed it on a iPod

[thespaceboon101]

@thiima52 thanks for the help to bad that for some reason I shoot or blow up the game goes slow even though NYC

[Freep24]

I loved this game as a kid!! Thanks for posting the video. Awesome game.

[thespaceboon101]

please respond to this. please tell me is this a rom? if so please tell me where you got it

[Thiima52]

@thespaceboon101

Do a google search for lemon amiga. lots of helpful information on that site.

[Phacioco89]

Can't tell you how glad I am that I am not the only nerd still playing these games...

[Francois424]

This was a unique genre... The slow aspect of the game contributed to it's charm. However when things heated up (carrier-carrier battle) you have to pick up the pace... really quick. This is one of my top 10's for the Atari ST.

I really wish this could be remade with tranforming it into something different.

Ahhh the memories :)

[liketightgear]

This is so complex game for the year it was made! There is nothing to be comapred to, even today.

[LegendKnight93]

Are these thoe orgiinal menus? This is like a combination of f-14 tomcat and sarfox.

[doomsday19821982]

gods i remember this game. i tried to beat it one summer like 15 years ago.... i couldn't >.<

[retronostalgic]

Shame about the awful looking icons...

[bukster1]

Easily one of the most dvanced games to come out of the 80's. I played it on my Atari ST

[doomsday19821982]

@bukster1 me too!

[respergu13]

I played this game about 20 years ago, it was awsome!!!!

There's a new version comming soon I think.

[The2realistic]

For some reason, I was always mesmerized by this game, despite its slow pace, etc. It's very special to me.

[Cassavius]

This was a fun game...

[SJBANGER]

now there a blast from the past, ty :)

[potkettle]

If no autopilot is engaged, you don't need to go back to the cockpit to set it, just press and hold the prog button and it does it for you.

[herobear1]

wow I forgot about this game! its a classic, can anyone tell me how I can play this on my pc

[TJae1]

ace combat 6 ~ eat Ur heart out

[asmoasmo2]

I used to load this game a few times just to hear the intro tune! LOL. Thanks for sharing.

[judgegroovyman]

I loved your musical interlude! Great video of a great game. I totally totally sucked back in the day.

Thanks.

[gabbygall]

Such a good game - IIRC though, once you dropped the AACB I would send the Carrier off to the next island and sacrifice the Walrus, just replenish with a new one on the next supply drop.

[meishikaru]

Hey I've got a question, can you help me out?

How did you increase the speed of the manta without clicking on the speed indicator thingy. Are there keys for that when you're using the mouse?

Thanks!

[Thiima52]

Just the up and down arrows on the keyboard to speed up and slow down, I think.

[meishikaru]

Haha, gotta remember to try out the obvious before asking stupid questions.

Thanks a bunch though!

[darius9000]

great game! i played it a lot.

[Reclusiarch]

Ah, these were the games. I'm getting so nostalgic. :D

[FredDude27]

This game was ahead of it's time.

[TheSteveOll]

@FredDude27

Absolutely, and they even got it to work on a 128K ZX Spectrum!

[MusicandMore2009]

[davehirst]
